for the firing process, the a r-dried tiles
are packed in earthenware boxes called
saggers, which are tightly closed to

carried into the kiln and built up in

wALTHALL AT PORT GlBsON.

In his speech at Port Gibson Senator
Walthall referred to his dearest friend
Secretary Lamar He portrayed him as
the central figure in the dark trying days
after the war, when both Northerners
and Southerners were embittered, that
had successfully withstood the assaults
Of extremists of both sides, and paved
the way for the complete disenthrallment
of the section he loves 60 well and
serves SO faithfully.
When Walthall referred to Lamar, his
face lighted up, his eyes flashed, his
bosom heaved and his eloquent words
and fitting g ,stures disclosed that he was
speaking Of his dearest aud truest friend.
What faith and admiration he has for
the man who has done SO much for
Mississippi, so much for the South and
so much for the whole country! Lamar
and Walthall may be truly called the
